ferns and leavesWall paper remnant. Ferns and other leafy green things. Circa 1970. Some soiling on edges. Measures about 28 by 150 inches (71.1 cm.) Vinyl. Good to very good. $7.50.









floralWall paper remnant. Flowers. Circa 1970. Some soiling, fraying on edges. Measures about 26 5/8 (67 cm) wide. Length. Well, there is quite a lot of it, at least 150 inches (71.1 cm.), and I am afraid to roll it out and damage it, or pick up dust and that sort of thing. So what I can tell you is this: without the cardboard roll, the diameter is .75 of an inch (1.8 cm.) Vinyl. Good to very good. $10.00.






curtainsA pair of goldenrod curtains with sepia, yellow, orange and brown. Measurements: 22" across the top, 29" down the center and 42" across the bottom. Year unknown for certain, but I seem to remember them being in the house in the early 1960s. No label. Good to very good. $20.00.




sgt nutcrackerA pair of drapes from Sears Perma Prest. Predominantly navy blue, with red, apricot, black, turquoise. Looks kind of like "Sergeant Pepper" meets "The Nutcracker." They measure about 23-1/2" x 26-1/2" each. Very good. $25.00.




miniature mantle clockMiniature mantle clock from One World. Clear glass frame, quartz clock with goldtone face and Roman numerals. Never used, still has bubble wrap, but box is long gone. Sticker says: "Made in China." Measures about 3 7/8 long (10 cm) by 2 3/8 inches (5.9 cm.) Excellent. $5.00.

onyx mushrooms Two handcarved onyx mushrooms. Origin unknown. One is green, the other is purple and they are very useful for being...well, green and purple. we haven't come up with anything else to do with them. Minor chip or two. They measure about 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches (4 cm by 4 cm.) Very good. $10.00.

marble centerpieceMarble centerpiece / fruit bowl. Reads "Italy" underneath. Some staining (could be paint, actually) in center of bowl, but looks nice just the same.
